A quaint, inspirational collection with delightful images at every turn of the road. No Sat Nav here.
As the world speeds up, as technology takes over, it is worth
remembering how we used to live. This three-book series is a nostalgic
hymn to an era when life was slower: a meandering ramble through the
British countryside by bicycle, automobile and train.


This
evocative volume gathers British motoring memorabilia, transporting us
back to a time when roads were filled with bulbous Austin Somersets,
humpbacked Standard Vanguards and unique road signs. Between cigarette
cards advocating road safety, vintage motoring maps and black-and-white
photos of classic cars in their prime, Forgotten Motoring
packs an impressive cache of paraphernalia between its pages. A quaint,
inspirational collection with delightful images at every turn of the
road. No Sat Nav here.

Peter Ashley is an aficionado of British culture, responsible for the Unmitigated England trilogy, Preposterous Erections (his book on folly towers) and London Peculiars (one of the first books in ACC Art Books' bestselling London series). Peter is renowned for his passion for the oddities that make this country unique, as Jonathan Meades has said, "He is the gatekeeper to several generations' memories."
